New Mitsubishi Montero Sport [ARCHIVED]

[RevD]

continuation of my sound setup...

I used a pair of DLS R6A sep for the front. The tweeter installation is kind of straight forward. But the Front speakers needed a thick layer of spacing material (wood) which the installers fabricated. It took several install and remove tries before we got the exact fit. Basta I insisted that there will be no shaving of the metal or the plastic moldings. After we got the exact measurement, the second front door speaker was a snap to install.



A pair of DLS 226 was used for the second door speaker replacement. The spacers we used was half the thickness compared to the front seps. It's almost 'plug and play' (no trial and error).



Once the door covers were placed back, its back to stock form but with much better sound. I can place back my stock speakers anytime. HTH!

Product Description

Bass Engine® Features
Digital Time Correction
For automatically adjusting the time delay of sounds of the subwoofers, delivering maximum sonic impact and correcting bass/mid-bass performance problems due to speaker distance.

Gain Factor
Uses digital processing to enhance the audio input, providing more usable power and a wider range of music control.

Parametric EQ (Bass Centre & Width Control)
Gives you exceptionally detailed and comprehensive adjustment of individual frequencies — even allowing control over frequency width.

Digital Crossover
Especially important in multi-amp setups, this allows setting of exact crossover points to maximise the efficiency of each speaker, increase output and improve clarity.

Bass Compensation
Utilises MediaXpander technology to add extra definition and power to the low end.

Subwoofer Level Control
For adjusting the bass just as you like.

Touch Control Ready
Car navigation has never been so simple to use — or so much fun. Compatible with our new Touch Screen control monitors, the NVE-N099P can be controlled by pressing the virtual buttons on the screen. Thanks to the advanced technology and new CPU, response is lightning-fast. No need to search for panel controls, no need to even use the remote. Just touch the display, and the settings instantly change. Convenient, ultrafast, intuitive — this is what navigation was meant to be.
